My Aqua Zig Zag Quilt!

April 15, 2011

So things have been progressing. Remember my original Living Room Plans? I’ve been working on that Zig Zag Quilt. I refuse to call it a Chevron quilt. Chevron is a gas station. My quilts are zig zagged. (Sorry Jen!)

I’m really happy with how it turned out. I quilted the zig zags straight with about three lines in a row around each seam. Then I decided to free-motion quilt the border. I made this quilt specifically for my couch, so the sides borders are wider than the top and bottom.

The greatest thing about the way I quilted it is the back!!! Isn’t it beautiful on the plain white back? This way I can change things up if I get tired of the aqua.

For now it’s resting on my bed so I can get to the couch slipcover. I promised myself I would finish this quilt before I started on the slipcover. See I can finish things!!

I have a queen size bed and it is slightly larger than the top. So I think in the future it will fit a twin size bed nicely or I can use it as a guest room quilt. PS…Ignore that ugly portion of free-motion quilting on the left side there…those were my very first ones and I kind of changed it further down to be prettier.

And just to remind you all, I did plan this quilt ages ago, before Shelley made this gorgeous rug that I covet! 🙂
